July 4, 2023The governor, who spoke shortly after the meeting held at the Otunba Subomi Balogun Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, declared that some frontline leaders in Afenifere had decided to resolve the differences between the two leaders of the group, Pa Reuben Fasoranti and Pa Ayo Adebanjo.
SaharaReporters had reported that the two leaders fell out ahead of the 2023 presidential election when Fasoranti endorsed Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress after Adebanjo had endorsed the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi on behalf of the organisation. The governor added that the process would be speedy, adding:"We are all aware of the issues between our two Afenifere leaders; Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
"So, my being here is to demonstrate my support for the steps I have been taking and to also let them know that I am committed to seeking peace in Yorubaland. "Once you tie the knot at the appropriate places, every other thing will fall in place. Once our people see the two leaders come together and talk, they will be the ones to appeal to the people.
